Drive-By Truckers - When Walter Went Crazy Lyrics
When Walter went crazy she was sitting on the couch
Painting her toenails and drinking a Tab
He walked out of the bedroom with a cigarette in his mouth
and he poured gasoline in a circle all around the house
blended whisky in his veins and murder in his heart
She watched him walk out the door and knew he was gone
Matlock on the TV and her mama on the phone
When Walter went crazy, they say he just snapped
It had gone on for so long and she wasn't coming back
She hadn't been off the couch in at least a dozen years
Deafened by silence and the grinding of the gears
Their friends could see it coming like yellow piss on snow
Their friends could see it coming but what could someone do
When it's speeding down the runway
and the brake line's torn in two
When Walter went crazy and the house went up in flames
You could see his hands shaking from the bourbon and the shame
He never planned the ending he just rolled the credit names
When the lights came up we all went home but never quite the same
